Crime is shooting up around there. This is not hyperbole - I've never seen so much or been told so much (from very reliable people not just hearsay). I'm not sure if some dodgy people have recently moved in (possibly from other estates being redeveloped?) but it's gone up a hell of a lot the past 6 months.

Just yesterday armed police arrested someone with a firearm nearby. The Met Police helicopter wrote about it as they were in support. Over the past few weeks I've seen and been told about various assaults, criminal damage, and lots of anti social behaviour. Of the things I know about not one person reported it so the stats wont show it. Maybe I should in future though know how pointless that can be.

The police and council need to do something fast. Stop abandoning the town. Crack down hard. Check people moving in if council tenants and if they are causing problems don't dump them there. I even saw people throw rocks at a PCSO who rode off and did nothing. Also the police need to do something about all the illegal drivers.

Maybe these people were from out of town and nothing to do with Abbey Wood. However, it follows recent patterns of things getting worse.

I think SCRUM BAG is to much of a nicer word for him,Let hope one day he has a knock at door by police to tell him that one of his family members has been killed by a hit and run,My thoughts are with this poor lady family's,R.I.P

Not sure what relevance the rising crime rate has to do with this incident

There were reports it was stolen, and follows a pattern of ever increasing crime in very recent times in the area. It seems to be becoming a bit lawless around there at times. The police need to get a handle on things.

Plus even if not stolen the driver must have been illegal as why run - the details would be on record.

Plus in the pics the rear number plate is not there. Maybe this happened after, or maybe someone was driving around without one. I have seen this around there, along with many other illegal acts which seem to be ignored.

Just to add - tonight I saw 2 people on a motorbike driving on footpaths (well away from roads) without lights in Abbey Wood. This was during the England game and they looked very dodgy. Stuff like that is so common now.

If anyone knows who the hit and run driver, please let the police know. I've know the victim all my life and cannot begin to tell you the pain the family & friends are going through. Her poor 2 daughters and partner have had they're mum, best friend & girlfriend taken from them and for what. RIP Aunty B. Our lives are not going to be the same without you. I just can't believe your gone.
